Gary Bowyer felt a point was the minimum Blackpool deserved at the end of their 1-1 draw with Cambridge United in Sky Bet League Two.

The U's went ahead thanks to Luke Berry's first-half free kick, with goalkeeper Will Norris saving his third penalty in a week to thwart Danny Philliskirk before the break at Bloomfield Road.

But the hosts levelled matters in second-half added time when captain Andy Taylor beat Norris with a left-footed free kick.

"It was frustrating. The first 20 minutes we started off ever so well and the goalie's made a very good save from Kyle Vassell," said Blackpool manager Bowyer.

"Then we find ourselves 1-0 down to a wonder strike and then, which is the way it's going for us at the moment, we miss a penalty.

"But I feel the players showed an enormous amount of character and spirit. When you're having spells like this, where you're playing well and creating chances, you can feel sorry for yourselves and go under.

"These didn't go under. Our lads kept going and went right to the end.

"We had a wonderful volley from Kelvin Mellor, and I think if it that's the other way around it might hit the underside of the bar and go in.

"So fair play to our players for sticking at it and the crowd stuck with us as well, which was important.

"We got the equaliser we thoroughly deserved, and the minimum we deserved in my opinion was a point."
